McFarland: Two-sport star Marien headed to Hutchinson College
“When Aidan Marien isn’t collecting hits on the diamond, he is delivering them on the gridiron.
During the summer months, the Saskatoon product has been found in a variety of ballparks plying his trade as a catcher and pitcher.
Once the fall arrives, he’s on the football field as an outside linebacker for the St. Joseph High School Guardians.
Marien is coming off a banner year in both sports, representing his province at the Baseball Canada Cup and heading to Toronto for the Blue Jays Academy Canadian Futures Showcase before helping the Guardians claim the 6A provincial football championship.”

Wilson: WCBL’s Edmonton franchise aims to open new park in Spruce Grove June 7

It’s been a painstakingly long process from when the stadium was initially conceived in 2020 by Pat Cassidy – owner of the WCBL’s Edmonton Prospects – to get to this stage, which now includes the horizon-altering vertical construction of the baseball venue.”
